A day in the life of a Senior QA Automation Engineer at MetLife Legal Plans:
As a Test Engineer in our company, you will work closely with the product and engineering teams to understand why we’re building a product and the specific requirements.

To ensure success as a software test engineer, you should have advanced software design and engineering knowledge, a good eye for detail, and a natural gift for software troubleshooting.
Our technology team is a tight-knit group passionate about user happiness, security, automation, and open-source software. We value attitude and work ethic above technical credentials. Building new technology is messy, so you should be comfortable working in a fast-paced, unstructured environment.
